Service was fantastic! Boaz was a very attentive server. Pasta was a bit underdone to my liking. Ambiance is wonderfully sophisticated, charming, with a European flair. Great for dates, friend/group gatherings.

Lovely new restaurant. Vibrant and noisy. Service was attentive. Food was just OK. We had prawns, pasta with 6-hour meat sauce (the meat was hard to find though) and brussels sprouts. Overall OK but not rushing back.

The music was so loud that you could not hear anything especially your server. The food was great but the staff is not great for the cost as for every thing you need cause they won't ask you again.

Lovely setting, delicious arugula salad and tagliatelle bolognese. Wonderful service by Gabriel. But as other reviewers have said, the restaurant really needs to tone down the too-loud music--especially at lunchtime, when diners are trying to talk/do business. I do NOT recommend this place for business lunches until they take care of this problem.

Started with the Pompei Fizz cocktail, it was balanced and refreshing. Apps included the carpaccio and arancini, they were both absolutely delicious! We had the lamb chops and carbonara, highly recommended!! If you leave room for dessert, have the Sformatino di salsa al caramello … divine!!! And worth the 20-25 min wait! Ooh, and try the seasonal espresso martini with it! Buon Appetito!

We were very disappointed,the food was average at best and way overpriced. When I booked my reservation they gave me the option for a thanksgiving dinner meal or the regular menu so I picked the regular menu but when we were seated I was told it was the Thanksgiving dinner only for $90 per person. I should have walked out right then instead I felt we were ripped off paying $90 for an average meal at best. I will never go back there again.

This was the first time coming here and it was a mediocre experience. I was given the option to choose the regular menu or the Thanksgiving menu but on arrival It was a set menu for Thanksgiving. The amuse Bouche of bruschetta was good. But then it was downhill from there. The salad was overly dressed and needed seasoning. The main course of short rib was good but the accompaniment of beans was lacking. There a only a pumpkin desert choice. I feel there should he can an alternative to pumpkin . The service was impeccable. The atmosphere and beauty of the resteraunt was phenomenal.

Deceptive or (at best) dumb use of open table ruined our family’s thanksgiving. Accepted our reservation giving us the option to opt out of the prix fixe menu only to try to force us to buy it upon arrival. $95 for a four course (totally uninspiring) menu for a small family with kids (who would have to pay for the menu too) is laughable from a mid Italian place in a shopping mall. Looking forward to seeing what will replace this when they go out of business.

The service was amazing. She was attentive and nice. the Place is beautiful and the attention to detail on even getting a small appetizer was nice. The food was OK. I ordered a salad that was delicious just very heavy on the dressing. The pesto orechiette was not good. Pasta was a bit too al dente, almost tasted old as if the pasta had been sitting for a while, it didn't feel/taste fresh. the Fries with cheese and rosemary were delish.

Made reservations for a birthday celebration. We were seated quickly after check in. Our server checked in quickly and continued to show knowledge of the menu throughout the dining experience. Busing between meals was swift and all needed utensils were available at appropriate times. Loved the water pitcher!

Lucrezia has destroyed the concept that getting a top-notch staff in place in the restaurant business in the post-COVID world cannot be done. In fact, you could say the service here is BETTER than service you got before COVID. This place does hospitality better than restaurants that cost 4 times as much. There is a reason it is always packed.

The food was ok. The best was the Cesar salad. Service was slow. Drinks took half hour to arrive. Also, if you order iced tea, refills are not free, and it is a small glass.The noise level is super loud, so it is not easy to have a conversation, and we could barely hear the server.

We had a very poor experience, our server Ahmed was rude and we unfortunately felt VERY rushed. We sat down, ordered and felt like we were rushed out of there in about an hour. I was even charged a ridiculous amount for what I ordered (small pasta with butter) for my daughter. Unfortunately because of the waitstaff and service, I would not recommend this place again. We were celebrating two birthdays and a reunion, our party hadn’t seen each other for quite some time and we were excited to try the new restaurant we were really looking forward to. Food was good but the rudeness we experienced unfortunately very negatively outweighed that.

Appetizers were really good (beef carpaccio and arancini). Entrees with bland and not that good - carbonara, spicy vodka rigatoni, margarita pizza (which was really just a cheese pizza). Recommend this spot for happy hour drinks and apps only

The food was fantastic. We ordered the brussel sprouts, Mediterranean salad, cacio e pepe pasta , Daniele pizza and lemon meringue. No complaints at all. Portions are decent. The restaurant was quite busy & the staff was still able to be very attentive. Decor & interior design is great. The noise level is very loud - it’s difficult to hear if you’re not sitting directly next to the person you’re speaking with.
